Shanxi Noodles, Hillcrest (Asian & Chinese Cuisine) - Order online from our menu

"It's not every day you get to come across such a hidden gem! Absolutely love their chunky handmade noodles with pork. It's served in a deliciously thick gravey-like soup and has become a quick favourite of ours. So much so that if we pass through Hamilton we have to stop to visit this shop and get that dish! The staff and owners don't speak a lot of English but they're warm and friendly plus the menus are in English (with Chinese too) and there's photos to help as well. The food we had was delicious! Can't wait to visit again.

"Edit at bottom* It is what it is. Food is reasonably fresh and tastes good. Authentic. Only issue I had is not being Chinese so I had no idea what I was ordering and had no help. But enjoyed what I got. Edit: I retract my 5 star review. They have questionable hygiene. And they messed up an order and gave me some rancid smelling pork soup. I have no idea what part of the pig it was but smelt bad.

"During my one-week visit at Waikato University, I had food here six days in a row. The Shanxi noodle soup is a good value and has many meat choices. Their baozi and meatballs are also my favorite. I tried their spicy food like hot and sour shredded potato and boiled fish (picture attached) which taste great!

"Delicious! Authentic and bloody tasty. Grab some tofu to make feast at home as well.

"This small restaurant really doesn't look fancy but the quality of the food is without question great. The flavours are fresh and tasty and based on the amount of Chinese patrons that it must be very authentic. I find that their prices are decent value for the quantity and quality that you get. Also if you are feeling inspired to cook at home they sell fresh handmade soft tofu at a much better price than the commercially packaged stuff. If you do want to buy the fresh tofu I would suggest taking your own container as they only wrap it in a plastic bag.
